Section 1.03. Books. The books of the Corporation may be kept within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

Article 2
Meetings of Stockholders

Section 2.01. Time and Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (or the Chair of the Board of Directors in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors).

Section 2.02. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2.03. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation, special meetings

of the stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors.

Section 2.04. Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice. (a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (“Delaware Law”), the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time or place (whether or not a quorum is present), and notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which such adjournment is made or provided in any other manner permitted by Delaware Law. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

(b) A written waiver of any such notice signed by the person entitled thereto, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 2.05. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided under the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws and subject to Delaware Law, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation generally entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the

stockholders, the chair of the meeting or a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

Section 2.06. Voting. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to Delaware Law, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of capital stock of the Corporation held by such stockholder. Any share of capital stock of the Corporation held by the Corporation shall have no voting rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes shall not be counted as votes cast. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specific circumstances, as may be set forth in the certificate of designations for such class or series of preferred stock, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

(b) Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or by their attorney thereunto authorized, or by proxy sent by cable, telegram or by any means of electronic communication permitted by law, which results in a writing from such stockholder or by their attorney, and delivered to the secretary of the meeting. No proxy shall be voted after three years from its date, unless said proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 2.07. Action by Consent. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock then outstanding, as may be set forth in the certificate of designations for such class or series of preferred stock, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called in accordance with Delaware Law and may not be taken by written consent of stockholders without a meeting.

Section 2.08. Organization. At each meeting of stockholders, the Chair of the Board of Directors, if one shall have been elected, or in the Chair’s absence or if one shall not have been elected, the director designated by the vote of the

majority of the directors present at such meeting, shall act as chair of the meeting. The Secretary (or in the Secretary’s absence or inability to act, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting) shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

Section 2.09. Order of Business. The order of business at all meetings of stockholders shall be as determined by the chair of the meeting.

Section 2.10. Nomination of Directors and Proposal of Other Business.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors or the proposal of other business to be transacted by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof duly authorized, (C) as may be provided in the certificate of designations for any class or series of preferred stock or (D) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in paragraph (ii) of this ‎Section 2.10(a) and at the time of the annual meeting, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this ‎Section 2.10(a), and, except as otherwise required by law, any failure to comply with these procedures shall result in the nullification of such nomination or proposal.

(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to clause (D) of paragraph (i) of this Section 2.10(a), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such proposed business (other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors) must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to such anniversary date or delayed more than 70 days after such anniversary date then to be timely such notice must be received by the Corporation no earlier than 120 days prior to such annual meeting and no later than the later of 70 days prior to the date of the meeting or the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting was first made by the Corporation. The minimum timeliness requirements of this paragraph shall apply despite any different timeline described in Rule 14a-19 or

elsewhere in Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), the “Exchange Act”), including with respect to any statements or information required to be provided to the Corporation pursuant to Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act by a stockholder and not otherwise specified herein. In no event shall the adjournment, recess or postponement of any meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on its own behalf (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at an annual meeting of stockholders is increased effective after the time period for which nominations would otherwise be due under this Section 2.10 and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.10 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new directorships created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to, and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(iii) A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(7) an executed agreement by such person: (i) consenting to serve as a director if elected and (if applicable) to being named in a proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the meeting at which directors are to be elected, along with a representation that such person intends to serve a full term as a director if elected, and (ii) that such person is not and will not become a party to (x) any direct or indirect compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with any other person or entity other than the Corporation, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation (a “Third-Party Compensation Arrangement”) that has not been fully disclosed to the Corporation prior to, or concurrently with, the submission of the notice from the stockholder required by this Section 2.10, (y) any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral), including the amount of any payment or payments received or receivable thereunder, with any other person or entity as to how such person would vote or act on any issue or question as a director (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been fully disclosed to the Corporation prior to, or concurrently with, the submission of the notice from the stockholder required by this Section 2.10 or (z) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; and

(8) such other information reasonably requested by the Corporation to determine whether such person is qualified under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or any law or regulation applicable to the Corporation to serve as a director and/or independent director of the Corporation;

(4) in the case of a nomination, a written agreement from such stockholder (and such beneficial owner, if any) that it (or they) will not submit any substitute nominations unless they are made within the time periods set forth in this Section 2.10 and the stockholder and the substitute nominees will otherwise comply with this Section 2.10;

(5) in the case of a nomination, a written agreement from such stockholder (and such beneficial owner, if any) that it (or they) has not, and shall not, nominate a number of nominees (inclusive of substitutes)

(6) a written agreement that such stockholder (and such beneficial owner, if any) shall (i) update and supplement the notice required by this Section 2.10, if necessary, so that the information provided or required in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting, and as of the date that is 10 days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and (ii) deliver such update and supplement so that it is received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than the later of (x) 5 business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting or (y) 5 business days after the first public announcement of such record date, in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than 5 business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the date that is 10 days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this Section 2.10 or any other section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any stockholder’s notice, extend any applicable deadlines under these Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted a stockholder’s notice under these Bylaws to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of stockholders;

(i) The Non-Employee Director shall deliver an election form substantially in the form attached as Annex B hereto (an “Election Form”) to the Company (attn: Chief Financial Officer) before the start of the fiscal quarter and during an open trading window period under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy;

(ii) Such election shall apply for such fiscal quarter and any subsequent fiscal quarters of such fiscal year and to any fiscal years thereafter and an alteration cannot take effect during the fiscal year during which the election was made. Elections may be altered only by delivering a new Election Form, nullifying or modifying any previous election, to the Company (attn: Chief Financial Officer) before the start of a fiscal quarter and during an open trading window period under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and such modified election will take effect on the first day of the following fiscal year;

(iii)The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in lieu of the Cash Annual Retainers shall be determined on an annual basis, on the last trading day of the fiscal year for which the Cash Annual Retainers would have otherwise been due, by dividing the dollar amount of the Cash Annual Retainers to be paid for such year (determined as described above, subject to adjustments for partial service during the year) by the closing price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year, rounded down to the nearest whole share;

(iv) Shares shall be issued as soon as practicable, but no more than 30 days following each fiscal year end, without any further action of the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board once an Election Form is duly signed and delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, all shares of Common Stock issued in lieu of the Cash Annual Retainers are fully vested and unrestricted shares of Common Stock, issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan.

Equity Compensation

Each Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity award described below, unless waived by the Non-Employee Director in his or her sole discretion by delivering the Waiver Form to

Such award shall be granted under and be subject to the terms and provisions of the Incentive Plan, or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company, and shall be granted subject to the execution and delivery of an award agreement in substantially the form approved by the Board pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan. All applicable terms of the Incentive Plan apply to this Plan as if fully set forth herein, and all grants hereby are subject in all respects, mutatis mutandis, to the terms of the Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement.

Annual Equity Grants. Without any further action of the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board, as soon as practicable after each Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders (“Annual Meeting”), but no more than 30 days following the Annual Meeting, each person who is then a Non-Employee Director will receive restricted stock units for shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “RSU(s)”) having a value of $200,000 based on the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on the applicable stock exchange on the close of business on the date of the Annual Meeting, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the “Annual Award”).

Prorated Grants. A Non-Employee Director who is appointed to the Board (or revokes a previously effective waiver) between two Annual Meetings, will receive a prorated award (the “Prorated Award”) based on the number of days from the date of appointment (or the date that the revocation of a waiver becomes effective) until the next Annual Meeting divided by the lesser of (i) the number of days between the two Annual Meetings (if known at the time) and (ii) 365, as the case may be. Such Non-Employee Director will receive such Prorated award as soon as practicable following the date that such Non-Employee is appointed to the Board (or the date that the revocation of a previous waiver becomes effective), without any further action of the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board. For illustrative purposes, if a Non-Employee Director joins the Board on January 1^st, the next Annual Meeting is held on June 15th of the year of appointment, and the prior Annual Meeting was held on July 1^stof the prior year, then such Non-Employee Director will receive, as the Prorated award, RSUs having a value of $ 94,555.87 ($200,000*(165/349)) with the number of RSUs to be based on the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on the applicable stock exchange on the close of business on the date that the Non-Employee Director is appointed to the Board (or the applicable date where the revocation of the previously effective waiver become effective), in each case rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Vesting.
